User Reviews

Users broadly praise the MEN app as a strong, up-to-date source for Manchester United and City news, especially useful for US-based fans, with engagement through comments and some customization. However, recurring downsides include crashes and instability, paywall frustration from premium changes that hinder navigation, plus performance and content/navigation issues after updates. Overall, the app is valued for content but needs fixes to stability and usability.

Pros

Comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of Manchester United and Manchester City news, including ratings, gossip, and articles.
Helpful for fans abroad (especially in the United States) to stay connected with home football coverage.
Frequent updates and fresh content keep users informed of the latest happenings.
Reader comments feature adds engagement and banter among soccer fans.
Content can be customized toward MUFC interests, including game reviews and related articles.

Cons

Frequent crashes and instability; some users report not being able to read more than one article without the app crashing.
Premium subscription changes that restrict navigation (e.g., loss of quick swipe between articles) and push a paywall, frustrating paying users.
Performance issues such as slow, labored scrolling after updates.
Content/navigation issues after updates (e.g., mislinked or mixed-up stories; removal of direct links to MUFC/City stories).
Occasional UI glitches like images not realigning on rotation in certain sequences (orientation-related problems).

So since you launched your “premium” subscription version of the app I lost the ability to swipe between articles nice and quickly. Now I have to read an article and go back to the main feed to read the next one. This is absolute common and best practice for any app and an unbelievable error in user experience. All so you can accurately see how many articles a reader has viewed so you can limit them and choke them into paying a subscription. I did pay for premium… and i still can’t swipe. Shocking.

Version 8.0.2 is awful. The scrolling is labored and slow. Horrible user experience. The app was fine but today, this “upgrade” is garbage. Fix pronto.

I used to enjoy looking at articles on the Manchester Evening New App. Now, I’m afraid, it’s not worth looking at - only a few news stories and that’s it. I just looked at one article, thinking it was new...and some comments were 95 days old. Also noticed that Bury had just been promoted!!
